A Hello Kitty Graduation

When a little one graduates from Pre-School, it is a milestone.  For her graduation, a really pretty pink silk lei and a card for her great day.  The Leis are from Target.  They were inexpensive to use to decorate. One lei was left plain and the other is decorated with 3-1/2" Graduation Hello Kitty using the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut cartridge.  Hello Kitty outfits were made in her favorite colors Lavender and Pink instead of traditional Black. Leis will be presented in one of those fancy white take out boxes.

The card: Images are from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut Cartridge. Adhesive Rhinestones have been attached to Kittys knot in the bow.  This is a spinner style card with the graduation diploma as the spinner. Use the SU word window punch to make the track for this spinner card. Card base is using SU Melon Mambo, the pattern paper is from K&Company Birthday Scrap kit .  It's birthday paper but hardly noticable with the SCAL words (Arial font) cut using my Silhouette. The scallop rectangle is a free SVG cut file, then popped with dimensionals. Kitty and graduaation hat are also popped with dimensionals as well.

Scalloped card inside: stamped message is from G Studio

More details of the Lei: Hello Kitty is backed with a plain black Hello Kitty attached with dimensionals.  The diplomas are adhered to 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" cpunched circles, then attached with dimensionals against another 1-3/8" punched black circle.  These images all stay in place since they are in between the "clear straws" used in the lei.





This was a fun graduation gift to make and hopefullt she will keep for many years to come.
